I will have to do a bit more reading to understand much of what you have 
said :-


My main concern is compatibility  according to the asterisk docs, the
quicknet products are and drivers are also supplied as part of the
kernel.

I looked a bit more in to the TDM20B which is the 2 port version of the 
TDM400P. As long as it does support data calls that should do the trick, 
pity it is seems not to be available directly in the UK (anyone know of 
a UK distributor/supplier).  Anyways at least the source code for the 
drivers is available which always a plus.

[Asterisk-Users] Using 2 PhoneJacks with Asterisk for Data calls.

2003-07-14 Thread Lee W
Hi,

I have recently discovered the project along with the PhoneJacks 
produced by quicknet, they could be the answer to something I have been 
looking into.

I would like to be able to test using a dial-in server  possibily also 
a Windows RAS server, however I only have 1 phone line.  I was thinking 
that I create a setup like that illustrated below to solve the problem:-

Ext 1000   Ext 2000
//  / //
/// /Asterix/// Dialin /
/ Client /-- / PhoneJack / --  /  PBX  / -- / PhoneJack / --/ or RAS /
/// /   /// Server /
//  / //
Has anyone used Asterix in a similair problem or perhaps they can see 
potential problems.  I have tried searching the archives for similair 
posts but did not come up with much of use.

Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

Regards

Lee

Don't do it. You will waste your money.   Quicknet hardware is not worth 
even half of what they are charging.

Thanks for the heads-up.  Do you know of any alternatives?

I recently posted a similair query to comp.linux.hardware relating to 
setting up a virtual telephone exchange and the result given there  my 
own previous search results appeared to be a lot more expensive than 
that of the quicknet products (more in the $800+ range).

My main concern is compatibility  according to the asterisk docs, the 
quicknet products are and drivers are also supplied as part of the kernel.

Thanks again

There is the zaptel hardware from digium.. the TDM400P for FXS ports,
X100P for FXO, or the combination of T400P + channel banks.

 I recently posted a similair query to comp.linux.hardware relating to
 setting up a virtual telephone exchange and the result given there 
my
 own previous search results appeared to be a lot more expensive than
 that of the quicknet products (more in the $800+ range).

Zaptel has the capability to do 'clear-channel' and/or 'data-quality'
calls. See 'show application Dial' on the asterisk and have a look at
the 'd' and 'c' options that can be passed to Dial. Someone else may be
more familiar with how it works on the X100P/TDM400P hardware though as
I haven't ever tested it. It was probably designed to work with channel
banks, which is going to go over your budget if you are trying to find
something cheaper than $800.

 My main concern is compatibility  according to the asterisk docs, the
 quicknet products are and drivers are also supplied as part of the
kernel.

AFAIK, Quicknet is the only folks who use the Linux telephony API but
even the Quicknet products often have problems with the driver that is
distributed in the standard kernel... OpenH323 is about the only thing
that is out there that can actually interface with the stuff 100% and
Quicknet has a big hand in that project too.

Not after you've wasted the kind of money I did on that junk.  I was 
even stupid enough to pay the extra $30 per card for G.729 and when I 
couldn't make it work on Linux, they told me it would never work on 
Linux due to licensing problems. Then they had the balls to tell me they 
had no facilities to refund the G.729 licensing fee's.
